Divine Doctor Dragon Master

As he was sent flying backward, Zhao Mulong violently drew a sharp sword and slashed at Qin Jiang!

Qin Jiang dodged to the side with ease, evading the sword Qi effortlessly.

Meanwhile, Zhao Mulong took the opportunity to thrust his sharp sword into the ground!

The sword bent severely, but in the next second, it sprang back to its original shape.

Only then did Zhao Mulong manage to land, stumbling several steps backwards, as the sword carved a deep, long scratch on the platform, sparks flying in all directions.

Not until he reached the edge of the platform did Zhao Mulong finally regain his balance.

Then, with a spurt, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

How could this be possible?

He had never imagined that Qin Jiang would repel him so easily.

Nor had he anticipated that, despite his diligent practice and improved strength over this period, he would still be no match for Qin Jiang?

This left him immensely frustrated.

But the more this happened, the more he refused to accept defeat.

He was determined to personally bring down Qin Jiang; he couldn't afford another defeat to him. Otherwise, how could he face anyone in the future?

With this thought, Zhao Mulong let out a low roar to the sky.

His clenched fists stirred a ripple of energy that wrapped around him.

His inner strength churned wildly within him at this moment.

No holding back!

Even if it meant paying a great price, he was resolved to drag Qin Jiang down with him.

Humming——

As the wellspring of inner strength from within his body continuously poured into the sword in his hands, the blade began to tremble slowly, emitting a piercing hum.

Faced with his strike, Qin Jiang also started to activate his martial skill, the Seventh Layer of Ninefold Celestial Waves.

Qin Jiang smiled faintly, "Last time, it was this move that defeated you, and today will be no exception!"

"Damn! Who are you looking down on?"

The rage in Zhao Mulong's heart blazed even fiercer.

His face was incredibly ferocious.

"You will definitely pay the price!"

With those words, Zhao Mulong swung the sharp sword in his hand, slashing at Qin Jiang.

A sharp glint of cold light burst forth from the blade.

This terrifying sword Qi seemed to cleave the very space asunder.

Qin Jiang remained unfazed.

The Seventh Layer of Ninefold Celestial Waves was already unleashed.

A barrage of punch shadows burst forth, carrying immense destructive force, and hammered directly at the incoming sword light.

Bang Bang Bang!

The flurry of punch shadows fell upon the sword Qi.

Initially, the sword Qi could barely hold on, but within three seconds, it was completely shattered.

And the might of Qin Jiang's martial skill did not cease there; it continued to blast toward Zhao Mulong.

Zhao Mulong's eyes focused as he swung his sharp sword once more, thrusting it forward suddenly.

Immediately afterward.

Dense cracks appeared on his sharp sword under the terrifying pressure, on the spot.

Then, with a snap, the sword shattered completely.

The dense, sharp fragments scattered explosively in all directions.

Hiss——

Caught off guard, those fragments pierced straight through Zhao Mulong's body.

Intense pain surged through him, prompting him to look down and suddenly realize that his body was lacerated with several cuts.

```

And those fragments had directly penetrated into his body, as crimson blood ceaselessly flowed out.

"How is this possible...,"

Zhao Mulong's face completely stiffened, and he spat out a large amount of fresh blood from his mouth.

Before he could regain his senses, several more fist shadows violently smashed onto his body.

Zhao Mulong, like a kite with its string cut, was sent flying on the spot and harshly crashed into a solid wall twenty meters away from the stage.

The solid wall collapsed, and a large number of bricks fell, burying him underneath.

"Idiot."

Qin Jiang smiled faintly, with the seventh layer of power he had now unleashed from Ninefold Celestial Waves being much stronger than before.

For Zhao Mulong to try to block it was simply impossible!

"This match, Qin Jiang wins!"

Following this announcement, Qin Jiang slowly walked down from the stage.

In the spectator seats, Xu Muge, Zhao Yuefei, and Ling Qingxue celebrated by clapping.

"This kid's strength seems to have improved quite a bit?"

Shen Lian's gloomy gaze was fixed intently on Qin Jiang, and then he revealed a disdainful smile, "But that's all there is to it."

"Even if his strength has increased somewhat, he is still far from being my opponent."

Shen Lian also had great confidence in himself.

In preparation for this Five Halls Tournament, his training had also seen a significant improvement during this time.

Qin Jiang, in his eyes, was never a threat, but merely a plaything.

Tie Yimu was somewhat surprised.

He had not expected that Dragon Hall would have two members advance to the top eight.

Not only him, but no one else had anticipated this either.

Ye Shengnan's expression slightly hardened, "These incompetent fools, so many of them, yet they couldn't even stop a brat."

"Pass down the order, they must be stopped, we cannot let them advance to the final four."

"Yes!" a man immediately nodded in response.

On another side, Wu Tianlian's expression had always been serious.

He was well aware that even if Qin Jiang emerged victorious in the end, he could not save Qin Chuan from the death prison.

However, the victory of this Five Halls Tournament was equally important to Dragon Hall.

If Dragon Hall could emerge victorious in the Five Halls Tournament, they would be able to firmly establish themselves domestically, and even overshadow the other four halls in terms of prestige.

He now only hoped that Qin Jiang and Xiang Longhu could continue to perform well in the Five Halls Tournament, as for how to save Qin Chuan, that would have to wait until later.

In the following time, two members from Heavenly Temple also stood out on the stage, successfully defeating their opponents and smoothly advancing to the top eight.

The top eight contestants were announced.

From Heavenly Temple, Tie Yimu, Li Wenyen, Xu Zheng. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire

From Earth Hall, Shen Lian.

From War Division, Xiao Wujiu.

From Martial Arts Department, Wang Qian.

From Dragon Hall, Qin Jiang, Xiang Longhu.

"Heavenly Temple really is full of talent. They've taken three spots in the top eight, truly impressive!"

"In my opinion, the champion of this Five Halls Tournament will either be Tie Yimu or Xiao Wujiu, they have higher chances of winning."

"That's hard to say, all these are rare martial arts geniuses, it's difficult to predict who will win or lose."

The silver-robed elder appeared on the stage and announced the new round of rules to everyone.

"From the top eight to the final four, this competition will no longer be one-on-one challenges, but a melee."

"Anyone on the stage can form teams, and the last four standing on the stage will be the top four of this tournament."

"Let's welcome the top eight contestants to the stage!"
